LAW firm MacRoberts is to hold a series of free public seminars on public law and government next month. They will take place at the Dome on George Street, Edinburgh, on November 6, and at The Lighthouse, Mitchell Lane, Glasgow, on November 7.

A spokesman for the firm said: "MacRoberts' public law and government group will examine how Scotland's legislative and policy framework operates today. The political landscape in Scotland has shifted dramatically since the May elections, impacting on everyone doing business in in the country, whether in the public or the private sector.

The structure of the Scottish Government has changed, and interacting with the minority SNP administration requires a fresh approach." MacRoberts is also due to hold a construction law seminar on November 27 at the Roxburghe Hotel, Charlotte Street, Edinburgh.
